Download or read book Drawing from Life written by Jane Tolmie and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autobiography has seen enormous expansions and challenges over the past decades. One of these expansions has been in comics, and it is an expansion that pushes back against any postmodern notion of the death of the author/subject, while also demanding new approaches from critics. Drawing from Life: Memory and Subjectivity in Comic Art is a collection of essays about autobiography, semi-autobiography, fictionalized autobiography, memory, and self-narration in sequential art, or comics. Contributors come from a range of academic backgrounds including English, American studies, comparative literature, gender studies, art history, and cultural studies. The book engages with well-known figures such as Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, and Alison Bechdel; with cult-status figures such as Martin Vaughn-James; and with lesser-known works by artists such as Frédéric Boilet. Negotiations between artist/writer/body and drawn/written/text raise questions of how comics construct identity, and are read and perceived, requiring a critical turn towards theorizing the comics' viewer. At stake in comic memoir and semi-autobiography is embodiment. Remembering a scene with the intent of rendering it in sequential art requires nonlinear thinking and engagement with physicality. Who was in the room and where? What was worn? Who spoke first? What images dominated the encounter? Did anybody smile? Man or mouse? Unhinged from the summary paragraph, the comics artist must confront the fact of the flesh, or the corporeal world, and they do so with fascinating results.

Download or read book Bento s Sketchbook written by John Berger and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza-also known as Benedict or Bento de Spinoza-spent the most intense years of his short life writing. He also carried with him a sketchbook. After his sudden death, his friends rescued letters, manuscripts, notes-but no drawings. For years, without knowing what its pages might hold, John Berger has imagined finding Bento's sketchbook, wanting to see the drawings alongside his surviving words. When one day a friend gave him a beautiful virgin sketchbook, Berger said, "This is Bento's!" and he began to draw, taking his inspiration from the philosopher's vision. In this illustrated color book John Berger uses the imaginative space he creates to explore the process of drawing, politics, storytelling and Spinoza's life and times.

Download or read book From A Cottager s Sketchbook Vol 2 written by Liang Shih-chiu and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2006-01-15 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cottager's Sketchbook is a collection of informal essays written by Liang Shih-chiu over a span of more than four decades. The earliest pieces originally appeared in a weekly in the wartime capital of Chongqing and, in the subsequent articles, the author continues to ridicule human foibles and social follies. His elegant and graceful prose, enriched by his liberal use of classical quotations and literally allusions, is sprinkled with lampoons of contemporary life and culture. Volume II of this collection features pieces from the seventies and eighties. Liang's distinct style continues to shine, but these late essays reveal a mellowness that comes with age. While the poignant sarcasm subtly and slowly shifts to a benign humor, the nostalgia for his hometown becomes more and more palpable during his exile in Taiwan.
